How to speed up export times

Looks like it's been posted before but all the answers have been so confusing for little ol' me who has no computer know-how. I'm trying to export a 9 minute video and it's telling me it's going to take 45 minutes, that just does not seem right....
I can't really you much information about my computer more than it's a laptop....

It's hard to help when the only info you supplied is that your video is 9 minutes long. You don't need to be a tech wiz in order to be an effective editor, but I suggest you get at least a basic understanding of computers and the software. It might be boring to learn about RAM and graphics cards and rendering, but will benefit you big time in the long run.
